Steph Baverstock is the new singles champion after a close-fought game against Betty Spicer. With the score at 15-15, Steph took two shots on each of the next three ends to win 21-15.

In the handicap singles, Debbie Hogg, in only her third year of bowling, was up against Betty Spicer, who had a handicap of seven shots. After a slow start Debbie quickly gained in confidence and fought her way back to 19-13, and picking up two shots on the next four ends she won 21-19 without needing to use Betty’s handicap.

Chris Hobbs was up against Steph Baverstock in the two-wood singles to the yard stick. After a close game, Steph needed two shots on the last end to win. Although holding both shots, one was not within the yardstick, resulting in a 14-13 victory for Chris.

Chris Hobbs played Betty Spicer in the 100-up. With ten points to be won on each end, the lead changed frequently between the two.

After nineteen ends the score was 97-93 and Chris won the next end, taking the three points she needed to win the game.
